The Groundhog’s Day Blizzard

You know you are behind on blogging when you come in from turning the chlorine level on the chlorinator up on the pool to talk about epic blizzards. Such is my life. This was an epic blizzard even by Michigan standards. We got 17 inches of snow with 4 to 5 foot drifts. It was a good 3 day dig out. Thank heaves for my hubby’s giant snow blower- he had it before I married him- because I think I would have  died if I had to shovel all of that. Come take a tour- Clint made some trails- more like tunnels but it worked.

Snow stuck to the front window

A view out the front door. There are steps there I swear.

I am thinking we aren’t grilling for awhile.

The garden shed door blew open- I closed it once I got across the 5ft deep drift.

It is like a hamster trail--- or more like a ferret trail.

That would be our mail box under there.

At least the snow shovel is accessible.
